Influences
MercuroChrome spans three generations of musicians and because of that we all have a wide variety of musical influence. Dave, the band's patriarch, spent his youth digging on the power-pop of Mitch Easter, and today still loves a good power-pop show (only missing the Sparklefest once...this year). Duke grew up loving Ace Frehley's guitar playing (he's almost embarrassed about this fact...almost...) and a little KISS ends up peaking its head out in MercuroChrome's rocking rhythms. Laura, who just picked up the bass to play for MercuroChrome, has played banjo for a while now, and comes with her ears tuned by the likes of Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams. Brian spent his late teens trying to be Bob Pollard (by following him around, nonetheless) and hurt his liver many times in the process. These influences take on a new life in MercuroChrome...Duke tightens the screws while Brian loosens them, and Laura and Dave lock into a tight groove that just won't fail. Look for Laura's newest additions to the band: she's quickly becoming the band's hardest working songwriter with new duties as the band's singer for several of her new songs. She has helped take the band's sound back to her Bracken County, Kentucky roots, with a definite "mercuro-touch".
Sounds Like
Sounds like colors. Feels like sound. Tastes like pretty. Looks like cinnamon. Smells like concrete.
MercuroChrome is best known for shaking the walls of Cincinnati-area bars with vibrant rock 'n roll.

Rumor has it that the band is planning on releasing a double CD with a pop up center-- consisting of Dave, naked and drumming.... ooohh ya! I can hardly wait!!
Hey Brian, It's Brian. Have you seen the movie, "The Weatherman"? it rules. If you're still looking for a band to play the tavern on the 14th or whatever I'll holler at a few peeps. I dig the music keep it up! check ya
The record is GREAT. Crimea at first elluded me - wasn't too sure. Now, it's the stand out. It's an awesome tune. You guys have... a certain... something. Goodness, I guess. You're good. At rockin'.
COMET TONIGHT!! The Heavies couldn't make their scheduled show here last night due to a major traffic snarl in KY. It takes more than a little snow and vehicular carnage from blowing minds and blowing up eardrums in the Nati. The Comet stepped up and gave us a las minute show.COMET TONIGHT with Pearlene and friends.Free show.Of course. If you've seen the BDH you know, if you haven't you'll learn.
I was thinking about you, the band, and all that. Well, I realized that world peace was never going to happen. So, I decided on a chocolate milkshake, followed by a smooth, mello fag. I looked up, and I saw the coloured lights through capillaries in my eyelids....
errr, seriously though, its been a while.... when are you fuckers going to play out again????
